Boys State Staff
The Palmetto Boys State staff is made up of former citizens and counselors who excelled
in the program and have returned year after year to participate.
Current staff members have been with the program ranging from 5 to 40+ years.
Most, if not all, of the staff members participated in the program as a citizen,
junior counselor, and senior counselor. Staff is divided into administrative
staff (directors, office personnel, and USC personnel), instructional staff(media
school, criminal justice academy, law school, and classroom instructors), and advisory
staff(county advisors and party advisors). Each staff member has unique gifts
and talents that when coupled with their intimate experience with the program results
in the ability to put on an exciting and rewarding program for each citizen.
